Not since the 1995 Brian Singer film 'Usual Suspects' have we witnessed such an elite cast of characters. Music Exec @DonGhotti makes an attempt to repeat history 15 years later with his Summer music game changer entitled 'CUS IT FEELS RIGHT' which highlights some of music's hottest budding stars. The original version of this record entitled 'Lesbionica' featured Washington DC's own hip hop star Lola Maxwell. As Diddy would say, "This is the REMIX...!!!"

We start off with Washington Heights (NYC) own @JUMZ aka Gabbana J who's newly signed to the DC based label Asquad Records. Jumz leads the Remix off with a gritty voice in which he directs his rhymes to the female subject as the club comes to a close. The Dominican flow artist outlines his plan to execute the perfect orgasm from the reverse angle. Some of his flows are chopped and screwed much like his female subject would soon be after the club.

Next up is Washington DC's own @Markyland also known to the world as Marky. He reps his label imprint 43 Ent/SRC/Universal. Marky brings an unorthodox tongue twisting staccato flow to the table as he too tries to convince this stubborn female socialite to exit the club with him in his bright yellow Lamborghini car. He builds a strong case of reason why he's DC's most eligible bachelor then leaves the listener on a very high note.

Bringing the Remix home is south side Chicago/Atlanta repper @BishopCity10 aka Bishop City who splashes the record with an energetic hype flow. He gives the female socialite her options why she should leave the club with him. His hyper flow rides the dance floor ready track and adds the spice needed to make this Remix the Summer's Hottest record play list.

We ask that you request the original version 'Lesbionica' and the Remix version 'CUS IT FEELS RIGHT'
at your local/national radio stations as well as clubs, lounges, and house parties. Download this Remix and add it to your Ipod/Zune's play list. You won't be disappointed.

Who the Hell is BISHOP CITY???


Who the Hell is Bishop City???
I've been attempting to answer this complex question since the day we met at an @idomusic event on the rooftop of an Atlanta nightclub. This youthful spirit commanded attention that late Summer night among a crowd of many industry taste makers. I would describe this young man as swagger rich, yet starving for music industry knowledge and understanding. I gave him my contact information
that night and expressed my interest in managing his talents, and shortly afterwords a journey towards music industry dominance begin. The DG & BC show!

Born Anthony Dajedi Williams 21 years ago in the south suburbs of Chicago, Illinois homed his skills in local school talents shows. When asked where the name Bishop City came from he stated, "I came up with the name Bishop because people were always telling me I look like Tupac Shakur growing up. I mean it never fails even to this day people come up to me asking me am I his son or close cousin. After a while they started to call me Bishop because in the movie 'Juice' his name was Bishop." he also added, "City came when I was in college 06-07 and people were saying the stage name Bishop was just to plain and it needed some pop, some jazzing up if you will. That's when I came up with City to basically say I am my own city and I got the ones I rep behind me as well."

Bishop's drive and self motivation sets him apart from the vast crowd of young American Hip Hoppers. When asked to describe himself, he said, "I would define myself as a beautiful mind that makes beautiful music. I write from the heart so when you hear it you can feel the pain and suffering in my life in the music. I'm a lyricist with the ability to make songs that we all can enjoy. What sets me apart is that I'm fully open to my audience there is nothing I wont talk about to my fans. Whatever you want to know about me there is a song about it I'm sure. My life is a open book, that I just want you to read."

Bishop was asked about his move from Chicago to Atlanta and the reasoning behind it, he stated, "I love Chicago for it is the city that taught me everything I know about life. But the move to the A is a business decision. I got here and fell in love with the people. Where I'm from you don't speak to people you don't know down here everyone speaks, that alone was so different for me. Then its how the artist that make it always come back to the "A" to help. No One from Chicago that makes it comes back. No talent showcases, No open Mics hosted by Chi-Town stars, nothing. So the City is at a stand still. But I plan on changing that."

From being in studio with Bishop, I am privileged to know his idiosyncrasies, but I ask him what were the 5 things he MUST have in every studio session. He states,
"First is Water (lol). Gotta have water because u need to stay filled with fluids. Second a male and a female singer. You never know when you're gonna need them. Third is a good ear, you need to bring someone who wont lie to you or just say yes because he's your friend. If its wack its wack, lying wont help. Fourth is Energy. No one wants a dead song because you can most definitely hear it when you listen. Last but not least I bring Life with me. I don't forget where I'm from, where I am, and where I'm going that's what my music is all about."



Who would you like to collaborate with on record?
"I would like to collab with Mary J Blige just because of how much she means to me and my life. Her music let me know that others go through the same thing I do. Now that I think about it, we kinda make the same music accept she sings and I rap. I'd like to work with Kid Cudi as well. I believe our creativity would make a "sick" record. Lupe Fiasco just to see if our lyrics are on the same track. It would be like clash of the titans. And lastly T.I. for the energy that him and I would bring to a record. That would make an instant classic."


What's your thoughts on the current state of Hip
Hop?
"I personally like the state of Hip Hop. Everyone is so mad at the Soulja Boys and artist like that. But if you look at it artist back in the day like Big Daddy Kane, Rob Base, and Heavy D use to dance in there songs to. I mean Soulja Boy makes records for the club. Without him, I think clubs would be dead honestly. I know when I hear his music I'm running to the floor along with the rest of the club (lol)."

Who's your personal Top Ten lyricist in Hip Hop?
"This is not in any particular order so don't hate me. Biggie, Pac, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, T.I., Outkast, Kanye West, Common."

In closing Bishop was asked, what advice he would give to a newcomer trying to find their way in the music industry? He states, "Stay positive and have patience. If they don't have patience, I would tell them to just quit now it wont work (lol). You're not gonna record a record tonight and have a million dollars in the morning, it just doesn't happen like that. Remember nothing that comes quick is worth keeping." :)

A Night to Remember through a Tattoo - The Official CANDYLAND Gothica an Electronic Love Story - Listening / Tattoo Party at @CityofInk 3/31

A Night to Remember through a Tattoo - The Official CANDYLAND Gothica an Electronic Love Story - Listening / Tattoo Party at @CityofInk 3/31

A Night to Remember through a Tattoo
The Official CANDYLAND Gothica an Electronic Love Story
Listening / Tattoo Party at @CityofInk 3/31


It all started while sitting at my kitchen table in November '09 listening to a sample of @zurideveraux 's 'Mile High Club that was sent to me from @DGPRinc 's own @PIERREdgprinc . I can remember it like it was yesterday, I was sipping my favorite Earl Grey tea and blogging when my inbox lit up with a remix record from Pierre. The remix record was a result of an assignment I gave in order to assess his production skills. Now I'll admit, when he said he made "beats" I totally underestimated his skills simply because everyone says they make "beats". So I quickly opened the E-mail and clicked the play button and was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!!! What was this perfect blend of Sweet Melodic chord progressions that made your senses dance but also on the same track you had Banging Hard drum tracks and Grunge Synthesizers that made you wanna have "Hardcore" SEX on the dance floor {Whew I got that out}??? Well as I started to try to explain the concept to my graphic designer @MarkustheArtist in order to start the marketing, I said "Well it's kind of like Candyland the board game with sweet ginger bread men and gum drops meets Gothic images like bats, blood, & chicks with black fingernail polish, fishnet stockings & Biker Boots. You feel me...???" There was a looooong pause, then @MarkustheArtist said "SICK.....!!!" At that very moment, The Soundtrack of the Year 2010 was born!

Back to the future. The day was crazy hectic trying to make sure everything was in order for the party. I had RSVP E-mails, text, calls all coming in all while traveling from Atlanta to Macon {my hometown} and back. I had a 12:30 pm appointment with my barber/spiritual pimp adviser, Hip Hop author and barber @JeromeEnders . Jerome hooked up my "Girl get off on your own" Al B. Sure signature cut then it was on to the liquor store for some wine and Golden Grain for the party, that's right I said Golden Grain. It's one of my main ingredients in my World Famous "DG Hooch" aka "Spanky Johnson". This drink will be the topic of discussion later in this piece.

Fast forward. The traffic was extremely crazy that night due to LA Lakers being in town playing the Atlanta Hawks therefore I was running behind. City of Ink is on Walker Street which is not far from Phillips Arena. I was being trailed by my recording artist @BishopCity10 . We made it through the traffic and on to the tattoo parlor. As we arrived, I could remember having a giddy feeling almost like that same feeling you have on the first day of school not really knowing who you'll meet. We entered the building only to see a handful of patrons who were there for tattoos.
My DJ @Lmarrthestar was already set up and testing out the levels. I brought him two of the #CANDYLANDGothica CDs so he could spin later on during the party. @DGPRinc 's own @DCYanni was in the house coordinating the event which gave me a certain calm an eased my anxiety. She worked with our fabulous liquor sponsor and good friend @OMGoldie setting up the wet bar and CD arrangements. Bishop City and I made a quick run to the hood convenient store for ice and cups. Upon our arrival back the tattoo parlor, we were greeted by more beautiful faces. I was at complete ease now knowing all of our hard work had paid off. At this point the wine and the world famous "DG Hooch" aka "Spanky Johnson" started to flow which took the party to the next level. I introduced my drink to @indakno and his first words were, "What the F is this...is this Gin???" Lmao.

Now anyone that knows me knows that I usually keep my alcohol consumption to a minimum {wink} at my release parties due to the fact I have to explain the product and the concept at the end of the night before the record is demonstrated, but...after I took a swig of my own "DG Hooch" aka "Spanky Johnson" I was taken back to my college days in Savannah {SCAD} when life was easy and free!!!

The atmosphere was filled with an array of music an entertainment's finest and not to mention some of the most down to earth folks you'll ever want to meet. At the nights end I was hoping I didn't slur when I grabbed the microphone and gave my speech about the project. The night ended on a High note with all of my guest giving positive and encouraging feedback on the project. I would like to extend a Special Thank You to every who ventured out and experience this wonderful project and I encourage you to spread the word through all of your Social Media facets.
